The Indonesian Sugar Research Institute (ISRI/P3GI) is a research institute founded in Pasuruan City by sugar industrialists on July 9 1887. It was first established under the name Proefstation Suikerriet Oost Java. ISRI is the spearhead in the development of the sugar industry, especially in the Asia Pacific. ISRI has played a big role in the development of sugar dynamics in the world,
one of which is the discovery of POJ 2878 which is worldwide. The Indonesian Sugar Archive describes the process of building a scientifically based sugar industry. The existence of sugar archives in Indonesia and elsewhere shows the importance of scientific research as a pillar of the world sugar industry, especially since the last decades of the 19th century.
Until now, this institution is called The Indonesian Sugar Research Institute (ISRI). ISRI has an important role in supporting the sugar industry in the Dutch East Indies and the world. The archives of the proposed sugar research institute are kept by the East Java Provincial Government through the Library and Archives Service and partly by the Indonesian Sugar Research Institute
(ISRI/P3GI).
Several stored archives contain information on the results of long-standing international collaboration between sugar research institutions, which has become the scientific basis for world commercial sugar production, sugar research, technological developments, international cooperation, and the latest discoveries related to the world sugar industry.
The ISRI’s archives proposed in MOWCAP are in the form of textual archives with a total of 174 archive numbers stored at the East Java Province Library and Archives Service. The total number of archives is 108 in the form of textual archives about research and 68 are archives about administration and 67 are photo archive numbers. Besides that, there are 18 textual archive
numbers and 2 photo albums stored in the ISRI’s Library.
